BMX Helmets

Depending on which type of BMX riding you do, a helmet can quite literally be a lifesaver. For vert riding and dirt BMX in particular, you’d be pretty foolish to think that a BMX helmet won’t increase your chances of being safe by a vast amount. The lids that are produced these days are made from incredibly tough yet lightweight materials that can withstand huge impacts, but still be very comfortable to wear. You’re head can stand only a fraction of the force that these helmets can, and we know which one we would prefer to break at the end of the day.

Most of the helmets we feature of this site are multi-use, meaning that they can be worn for lots of different sports and still provide great protection for each activity. However, many BMX riders like to choose helmets that have a small visor as this not only helps keep the sun out of your eyes, but can actually protect the face from making impact with the ground if you fall flat.

BMX helmets these days are very breathable, meaning your head doesn’t get hot and sweaty during a session, and some even have removable insulation that you can put in on cooler days when you want to keep a bit of warmth in your lid. There are a massive range of colours to pick from also, from earthy greys and browns to shiny whites and luminous blues.
